Flower Essence Session

Flower essences are remedies for transformation. They are vibrational medicines which embody the distilled wisdom and healing of each individual plant. Gentle as they are, there is no preparation -- herbal or otherwise -- with a greater power to uplift and instruct the human Heart and Spirit. This is the perfect session to engage with your plant allies in a way that will have deeply meaningful and long-lasting implications in your life. Working mostly beneath the level of our conscious awareness, flower essences are ideal for unraveling long-held patterns of emotion or spiritual imbalance and yet are equally valuable in major life transitions or crisis situations. Each session begins with a clearing smudge ceremony, followed by time to share your story and identify the threads of your path wishing to be woven into new form. You'll leave the session with custom one ounce flower essence formulated to support you in walking the path that is uniquely your own.

Each session lasts about an hour and includes a clearing smudge ceremony, a one ounce custom flower essence formula, and an extensive personalized write up describing each essence included and any other suggestions discussed during our time together.

One of the most powerful forms of healing and self care is a simple Bath. Hydrotherapy has been treasured by many cultures and considered as integral to one's health as sleep, nourishment, and exercise. Bathing can raise vitality, nourish the Heart, bring balance to all manner of ailments, and refresh the Spirit as deeply as it cleanses the physical body.

Each Ritual Bath begins with a personalized gongfu tea service, provided by Vanessa Cabrales. Following tea, you'll receive a cleansing and protective blessing with the smoke of sacred aromatic plants. Once we've opened the space through prayer and intention, we'll explore what it is you'd like to invoke through your bath. Baths can be tailored to support you in any aspect of your life -- physical, spiritual or emotional. Ritual bathing is a practice with the power to transform both our inner and outer worlds. After speaking aloud your story and sharing your intentions, Sophia Rose will bring together all the elements needed to create the perfect healing bath for you in the moment. In the bath we'll bring together the potent medicine of herbal infusions, the sweet and subtle gifts of flower essences, the nourishment of mineral salts, and the ancient earth wisdom of crystalline gems. You'll emerge from the waters renewed and ready to greet the next chapter in the unfolding tale of your life.

Each session lasts between two and three hours and include a one ounce custom flower essence formula, personalized tea service, cleansing smudge ceremony, ritual bath, and bespoke recommendations for carrying the magic forward in your life.​

Vaginal Steams -- also referred to as Yoni Steams, or in Spanish, Bajos -- are a luxurious self care ritual and women's healing tradition. Regular vaginal steaming helps to nourish, tonify, and strengthen the tissues of the vagina and womb. Depending on the herbs used, vaginal steaming can benefit a wide range of symptoms including vaginal dryness and itching, post-partum care, and healing sexual trauma. Before your steam, you will be welcomed with a cup of Moontime Tea and we will begin with an herbal blessing and create a sacred container in which to plant the intention for your steam. We will then have a brief consultation to determine the most nourishing herbal formula for your body in the present moment. Once your steam is prepared, you will have a private and lovely space in which to simply receive the experience and open yourself to the dreamy state if often induces. The bajo itself generally lasts around 20 to 25 minutes with the entire session lasting about an hour. After your bajo you will have the option of purchasing another batch of the custom herbal formula used during your session for an additional at-home steam. Please schedule at least a handful of days before you expect your period to begin and no sooner than a week and a half after delivery.

Whole Health​Coaching

Whole Heath Coaching offers a supportive + comprehensive therapeutic space conducive to unraveling longstanding + chronic health issues and effecting real and lasting change. This is the perfect context in which to address things like auto-immune diseases, food allergies, inflammatory conditions, depression and anxiety, skin issues, and other more complex pathologies as well

The work we do together in this context is generally over a period of months and requires some level of commitment in order to experience the desired relief and results. It is a good rule to anticipate spending roughly one month implementing new habits + herbal formulae for every year that you have experienced a condition. After the Initial Consultation, Subsequent Appointments are recommended weekly, and then monthly, and even less frequently as your vitality increases + your health improves.

Initial ConsultationAn initial consultation usually lasts between one and two and a half hours. During this time we will discuss whatever it is you'd like support with and what your health goals are. Each person, and therefore every set of symptoms, is unique and deserves to be considered as such rather than being reduced to catch-all diagnosis. This is why the time investment during a first visit with an herbalist/nutritionist is longer than the time spent with most Medical Doctors.

After taking your health history and listening fully to the story of where you are now, we will work together to come up with a specific plan to help you reach these goals in the most joyful and nourishing manner. Following each session, you will receive a thorough personalized write up which includes suggestions on the following //

Food + Nourishment

Ritual + Ceremony

Self Care Practices

Herbal Formulae

Subsequent AppointmentsAt least two to four follow up appointments are recommended for long-standing and chronic issues. Subsequent appointments are generally shorter than the initial visit. These visits are spent tracking your progress and making adjustments as necessary.

Through each subsequent appointment, you will continue to deepen your understanding of your own health and relationship to yourself through dialogue, coaching, and inner work.

Colds and Flus, short-lived UTIs and Yeast Infections, Fevers and other ailments of mysterious origin can seem to come out of nowhere, leaving us uncertain of how to best care for ourselves. In times like these, it's essential to have the nurturing and support of someone who can put together a medicinal tea or warm up some healing bone broth for in order to soothe our symptoms + have us back on the road to recovery. Acute sessions are brief, lasting from thirty to forty-five minutes and are spent assessing your condition in order to formulate an approach for nourishing your immune system and providing relief of symptoms. Care will also be taken to share thoughts on future preventative measures to avoid similar illnesses. Session is available over the phone + delivery of herbs to your home and bedside available for a small additional fee for Austin locals. For folks farther afield, we'll likely direct you toward specific formulas commercially available at your local healthfood store, or guide you toward making simple at home remedies whenever possible. Referrals will also be given when necessary.
